OUR MEMBERS

Our goal is to slowly build a membership of highly motivated firefighters from around the Portland Metro area. Members must be true to one’s profession and agree to uphold the mission statement of the First Whip F.O.O.L.S and F.O.O.L.S International. It will be the duty and responsibility of all Chapter Members to adhere to all rules, Articles of Association, and characteristics set forth by the First Whip F.O.O.L.S, the F.O.O.L.S International, and the fire service.

BECOMING A MEMBER

1. A new member must be sponsored by a current member in Good Standing and attend two (2) First Whip F.O.O.L.S events, prior to becoming a member; i.e. sermon, meeting, HOT class, or fundraiser.

2. Membership Dues are $100 for the first year (which include a T-shirt, Hat and Challenge Coin) and $50 for each year after that.

MEETINGS

Our meetings and training events are open to every firefighter in the Portland Metro area and we welcome visitors from other fire departments and Chapters around the country. 

We hold a Sermon every other month, we will cover any chapter business at these events as well. Business is kept brief with a lecture or presentation to follow to facilitate the reason most of us became involved in this community- to spend time around other passionate and motivated like minded folks.

Membership Dues

Membership Dues will be applied to insurance costs, event venue rental fees, and seed money for hands on training classes. We look forward to this next year of training and kinship together!
